Title: Investigating the Impact of Black Hole Jets on the Interstellar Medium of IC 5063
Abstract:

We study massive outflows triggered by the accretion of matter towards the central supermassive black hole and their impact on the interstellar medium (ISM) of IC 5063. The wind outflows that have been detected in different phases of the gas surrounding IC 5063, render it ideal for our research. We use the astrochemical radiative transfer code, CLOUDY to model the atomic and molecular cloud areas of IC 5063 and examine the effects of cosmic rays and Far UV radiation on these clouds. Furthermore, we analyze the physical properties of the gas, such as density, temperature, and pressure by use of line diagnostics for optical spectrum emission lines and molecular emission lines, in order to gain a better understanding of the dynamical stability of the clouds. We also intend to include forthcoming observations from the James Webb Space Telescope into our work.
